Choosing a fax connection
You can connect the printer with equipment such as a telephone, an answering machine, or a computer modem. To
determine the best way to set up the printer, see the following table.
Notes:
• The printer is an analog device that works best when directly connected to the wall outlet. Other devices (such as
a telephone or answering machine) can be successfully attached to pass through the printer, as described in the
setup steps.
• If you want a digital connection such as ISDN, DSL, or ADSL, a third-party device (such as a DSL filter) is required.
Contact your DSL provider for a DSL filter. The DSL filter removes the digital signal on the telephone line that can
interfere with the ability of the printer to fax properly.
• You do not need to attach the printer to a computer, but you do need to connect it to an analog telephone line to
send and receive faxes.
